Case insensitive search #2

Closed levyj closed 9 years ago

levyj commented 9 years ago

I just noticed yesterday that plate numbers must be typed with capital letters or the result will say the car was not found. That may not be obvious to users and result in false negatives. How hard would it be to convert the entered string into all caps before searching? I might actually try it myself at some point as an introduction to Ruby but wanted to post this issue in case I do not follow up (and certainly don't wait for me if you have time to fix it).

I know the official repository is https://github.com/smartchicago/wasmycartowed but it does not seem to accept issues.

Thanks.

Jon
